Hello! Did you hear that the new 2016-2017 Fun Stampers Journey catalog includes colored pencils, watercolor pencils and Panpastels? So exciting! I have very little experience with pencils and never even heard of Panpastels until recently! And I can't wait until they arrive in my studio so I can play, learn and share my projects and experiences with you!
This week I decided to sit down with an old set of colored pencils I have and practice a little before my FSJ sets arrive!
I'm always humbled when I work with new mediums! It's not easy to go from one that I've worked with a lot and have success with to learning all over again! I'm remember last year when the new Fusion Blender solution and re-inker system debuted and my first attempt to use them was so intimidating! I smeared things, colored outside the lines, etc. My work looked like a Kindergartner did it! lol
Today's card turned out okay. I have so much to learn. For instance, I think my flower would have turned out prettier had I used a blending tool. And no matter what medium I'm working with I'm always learning about shading, etc!
So...an appropriate sentiment for this card is that "imperfection is beautiful!" It's what I tell my son when he tries things for the first time and wonders why his dad or I can do it better. I tell to practice, practice, practice. Everything that's done well takes lots of patience and practice.
For this card I embossed the image, colored it with pencils and sponged a little Whip Cream ink around the edges.

Kathy, your cards are always beautiful! I think we're all our own worst critics. I love that bee, lol. Thanks for sharing.
